February began with a series of reshuffles in the top clubs of the CIS – Dota 2 rosters changed Natus vincere, Virtus.pro and Gambit esports. After that, a lot of debate and discussion began on the Internet between the fans of the teams, commentators, analysts and representatives of organizations. Cybersport.ru has collected all the most interesting opinions about past transfers.
About Zayac’s transition to Virtus.pro
Commentator RuHub Vladimir Maelstorm Kuzminov expected to see a hotter discussion of the transition Bakyt Zayac Emilzhanova at Virtus.pro. However, it is worth considering that information about this appeared a few weeks ago, and in early February, the CEO of the Ukrainian club Yevgeny Zolotarev only officially confirmed it.
VP video gave 0 new info, everything was clear yesterday, just now it’s told on the other side. Clearly, they should have answered. BUT WHERE YOUR OPINIONS, people who look from the side.
– Maelstorm (@MaelstormOne) February 3, 2023
Units wrote at least something. Of these, even less is at least something specific. It is clear that both sides of the conflict consider themselves right, that’s why it is a conflict, but I want to read the opinions of those who cook in it, those whom I listen to or vice versa.

Commentator WePlay! Yaroslav Tekcac Petrushin surprised that he will play exactly as Kerry in Virtus.pro Zaur Cooman Shakhmurzaev. (P. S. He already apologized for Kazhyrov, though).
Something I did not expect this ? I could not even think that it would be Kuman. I’m waiting for a joke about the best in the CIS, friendship with Kazhyrov, rial-lifer, etc. т

Meder FlyToMoon Bogdan Iceberg Vasilenko believes that the new Virtus.pro roster looks weaker than the previous one.
IMHO composition virts about has become weaker)
– Bogdan Vasilenko (@Icebergdota) February 3, 2023
Lead Maincast Ivan Faker Dyomkin reminded that dozens of similar transfers are taking place in eSports.
The only reason for this hype around the transition of the Hare to the EP is the vidos from the CEO and the managers of both orgs. There are dozens of similar cases in our e-sports; in the world, it will probably reach hundreds. Why did org representatives make such an informational out of this – hell knows.
– Ivan Demkin (@MistaFaker) February 3, 2023
Commentator RuHub Alexander Jam Korotkov He doesn’t understand why the community was so angry with Emilzhanov, who decided to change his team.
Absolutely every person wants to arrange his life as best as possible. And there’s nothing to blame. I do not understand the public indignation. We do not seem to live in a fairy tale.
– JAM (@JamPunchMan) February 4, 2023
Eugene Sh4dowehhh Alekseev recalled a similar incident that occurred with Emilzhanov in Vega Squadron.
But what is everyone so smart about?) When we needed pos4 in winstrike, and the rabbit was contracted in Vega by contract, he was promised that everything was ok with transfers, and when we called the hare, we were unrealistically overpriced, and vega told the hare that he is at the bank. Again to step on the same rake?
– Eugeniy Alekseiev (@ sh4dowehhh) February 4, 2023
Maelstorm agreed with Alekseyev’s position – albeit in a humorous form.
I watched the video from VP. They threaten to put the player on the bank, and then they are surprised that he left. And he did it right. After all, we use a much more convenient container for this.
– Maelstorm (@MaelstormOne) February 3, 2023
Igor BadPlaya Gorevoy, meanwhile, drew attention to the scale of the situation in the media field – the Virtus.pro video fell into YouTube trends.
Everyone blames Glamazda for the ruins of the VP media, which was built over the years, and he threw the VP into trends … with a force of 12,000 Newtons. pic.twitter.com/4uei6cqAYY

About gpK ~ situation in Gambit Esports
Most eSports players agreed that Gambit Esports had to take tough measures. At the same time, everyone felt sorry for gpk ~ as one of the most talented young players in the CIS, who is now in stock.
It is unfortunate that one of the most talented and promising players in the CIS got a public flogging (bank). But here I am on the side of the GMB, “called himself a load – climb into the back.”
– Georgy Faleev (@follow_drAmer) February 4, 2023
Bravo Gambit. That’s what you need to do. On the other hand, in the CIS, minus the most talented player or one of … If I can understand the action of the Hare, then the GPK is not. It is one thing to quarrel and leave, another thing to remain without a game for a year. It’s super sad. But Gambit is still great.
– Maelstorm (@MaelstormOne) February 4, 2023
The gambits are certainly beautiful, they did everything right. But who is better off from this? Even if gpk returns to the main squad, will relations in the team remain warm? After all, it is important for future victories.
– Nikita Kotkov (@ follow4ce) February 4, 2023
Well, they survived. The bank does not spare even the most talented players.
– Nikita Kotkov (@ follow4ce) February 4, 2023
Darius Eiritel Morozova noted that the leadership of Gambit quickly responded to the situation with transfers in the CIS. And Maelstorm pointed out how the CEO of the organization submitted information about the transfer of gpk ~ to the reserve.
The nuts began to tighten faster than you might have imagined.
– Dasha Morozova (@eiritel) February 4, 2023
I read an interview with CEO Gambit. Maximally professional. No unnecessary emotions. Everything about the case. The position is crisp and clear. And this is a detailed position, because he was interviewed, the statement itself was in 1 picture and 3 paragraphs. Cool.
– Maelstorm (@MaelstormOne) February 4, 2023
Meanwhile, commentators and analysts began to discuss a possible alignment of forces after the winter reshuffle. Alexey Bafik Bafadarov, for example, saw the potential in the updated roster Gambit and pointed to the opened prospects for Winstrike team.
Yes, if the GPK ends up in the VP, then we will have an uniquely strong and cool team with a very strong roster. But it’s hard to say if this is possible https://t.co/atoIdkWbxP
– Vitalii Volochai (@ v1lat) February 4, 2023
you never know whether they have become weaker or stronger, VP, I think they’re definitely not in force, we’ll look at the rest
– Yaroslav Kuznetsov (@just_NS) February 4, 2023
By the way @GambitEsports and FN is a good story. It is quite a fighting gang with the potential to win qualifications. @Winstrike_Team in this whole situation, they also have to push and jump to the top, everything has at its disposal.
– Alexey Bafadarov (@bafikk) February 4, 2023
Artyom Fng Barshak Found a plus in the current situation. Read his commentary on the situation with gpk ~ in a more detailed form here.

– Artsiom Barshak (@Fnggshka) February 4, 2023
And, of course, there were some jokes about gpk ~, albeit a little sad because of the situation.
Ggpk
– Yaroslav Petrushyn (@Tekcac) February 4, 2023
Previously, it was possible to “tridvashashit”, which meant putting against yourself. Now you can “GPKashit”, which means strongly want to another team and sit on the bank, we are not talking about another glass container.

Have you tried pickled rpc? Each delicacy
– Egor Zhabotinskii (@just_Ark) February 4, 2023
This expression is “sit on the can,” yesterday I didn’t even hear it once, but now it’s all around. Well, at least not on the bottle.

About the situation in general
Alexander Enkanis Polishchuk noted that he would like to see more professionalism on the part of organizations during the next reshuffles.
The video “On the Zayac Transition” is very difficult. I hope that both teams will succeed, everyone will get what they want. Let all this be seasoned with a greater share of professionalism.
– Alexander (@OfficialEnkanis) February 3, 2023
According to Michael Olsior ZverevZayac’s transition from NAVI to Virtus.pro will negatively affect the relations of fans of these two clubs.
The most annoying thing is that the community was split more than ever. The comments under the VP / Navi games were very caustic and rude at times, now everything will be even worse. I hope there will be more than one team from the CIS in Stockholm.
– Michael Zverev (@Olsior) February 3, 2023
Sergey Smile Revin stated that organizations should completely review the transfer policy and exclude players from such transactions.
To be honest .. a very ridiculous situation in 2023 …. As long as players continue to decide something in our field, we will stand still and will not develop in terms of professionalism and people will continue to laugh at e-sports.
– ARS-ART (@RuhubSmile) February 4, 2023
If you want to know who the “players” are and how the management works, watch the movie “Moneyball”. And so it should work, nothing else.
– ARS-ART (@RuhubSmile) February 4, 2023
Maelstorm and Adekvat agreed that Virtus.pro now has a great responsibility for the entire scene in the CIS and its results after the reshuffles.
As a result. VP weakened NaVi before qual. VP weakened Gambit before qual. Looks like hard wines for VP, anyway. But if they don’t play, then this is a super hit on CIS DotA.
– Maelstorm (@MaelstormOne) February 4, 2023
VP right now it’s absolutely impossible to play badly right now. Such pressure is sustained only by victories.
– Rustam Mavliutov (@AdekvatTV) February 4, 2023
The situation with reshuffles was unexpectedly resonant – even the CIS paid attention to what was happening David GoDz Parker, a Oleg Feaver Skarzhinsky put transfers on a par with recent global shocks.
2020 started hard. Okay, hell with this climate, the third world war and the coronavirus. But such a drama with reshuffles in the CIS Dota ???? We obviously were not ready for this.
– Oleg Skarzhinsky (@FeaverUA) February 4, 2023
“Reshuffles in Dota 2 teams in the CIS are becoming more interesting.”
Finally, a normal movement began in the CIS DotA. Last year, all discussions rested on “Why didn’t the VP win the major” and the gap between the studios. And here February has just begun, and so many things already!
– Artem Sherly (@artem_nagorny) February 4, 2023
Humor
NAVI tweeted jokingly that Zayac had betrayed the team. To do this, the SMM-managers beat the famous meme with Big Smoke from GTA: San Andreas.
– Natus Vincere (@natusvincere) February 3, 2023
It is not yet necessary to compare the situation with the “Mortal Kombat”, but Dota 2 fans in the CIS really divided into two camps.
Choose your fighter
– Dasha Morozova (@eiritel) February 3, 2023
Some teams are only happy with the current situation in Virtus.pro, NAVI and Gambit.
Well, the chances of passing the even odds are increasing every day pic.twitter.com/5SLPz5D2ff
– Team Empire (@team_empire) February 4, 2023
But do not forget that all of the above can lead to the fact that the KBU will pass kvaly and be able to qualify for Major. There, overturning the weak in the playoffs a couple of times and you can get together for the anniversary TI.

Some jokes just do not require explanation.

Maelstorm was bewildered all evening on February 3 by the silence on Twitter.
WHY EVEN LIL SILENT ?!
– Maelstorm (@MaelstormOne) February 3, 2023
On February 3, Virtus.pro announced changes in its lineup for Dota 2. Vitaliy Save- Miller and Egor epileptick1d Grigorenko transferred to the reserve, and their places were taken by Zayac and Stoman Cooman, who will represent the team in the qualifiers for ESL One Los Angeles 2023. The next day, Gambit pulled gpk ~ out of the active roster, as the player refused to come to the bootcamp.
